As his business fails, Viktor takes out his frustrations on his wife, Ida, and his timid children. When Ida, reduced to taking in neighbors' sewing to make ends meet, has a nervous breakdown, her mother places her in a sanitarium for a rest. The family's undaunted nursemaid, who had been Viktor's governess when he was a boy, schools her former charge in the trials of running a household, teaching him to appreciate his wife.
